Mr Bojangles - Nina Simone[00:00:00]
I knew a man Bojangles[00:00:00]
And he danced for you[00:00:03]
In worn out shoes[00:00:08]
With silver hair a ragged shirt[00:00:14]
And baggy pants [00:00:17]
The old soft shoe[00:00:22]
He jumped so high [00:00:29]
He jumped so high[00:00:33]
Then he lightly touched down[00:00:39]
I met him in a New Orleans caffe[00:00:49]
I was down and out[00:00:52]
He looked at me to be[00:01:02]
The very eyes of age[00:01:04]
As he spoke right out[00:01:09]
He talked of life [00:01:17]
He talked of life[00:01:20]
He laughed [00:01:25]
Slapped his leg stepa[00:01:27]
Mr Bojangles [00:01:35]
Mr Bojangles[00:01:42]
Mr Bojangles dance [00:01:49]
He said I dance now[00:02:04]
At every chance in honky tonks[00:02:04]
For drink and tips[00:02:10]
But most of the time[00:02:16]
I spend behind these county bars[00:02:17]
He said[00:02:22]
You know I drinks a bit[00:02:22]
He shook his head[00:02:31]
And as he shook his head[00:02:34]
I just ask him[00:02:41]
Please [00:02:42]
Mr Bojangles [00:02:49]
Mr Bojangles[00:02:57]
Mr Bojangles dance [00:03:02]
He said then[00:03:25]
I danced every now and then[00:03:27]
But drinks a tips[00:03:32]
He spoke with tears of 15 years[00:03:38]
How his dog[00:03:42]
And him traveled down across the south of it[00:03:43]
His dog up and died [00:03:53]
He up and died[00:03:56]
After 20 years he still grieves[00:04:01]
Mr Bojangles [00:04:11]
Mr Bojangles[00:04:18]
Mr Bojangles dance[00:04:24]
